Morphology

exposed = expose (transparent) = expose + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participial formation from the verb 'expose' (+ -ed); meaning 'made bare or uncovered' is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Exposed comes from the Latin parts ex- meaning 'out' and pose meaning 'to put', the same root you see in position and pose. So something 'exposed' is 'put out' of cover, like skin or a shoulder that is left bare and not covered.
